Locating a specific address on a census?

[KGarrad]

The "County of Chester" is the same thing as Cheshire!

Just an older, more quaint, way of saying the same thing.

The other family members I'm searching are listed at Benison's court on the census which apparently close to High St. as it is also listed on their census records on the same page.

Benisons Court was between 72 & 74 High Street.

If the High Street numbers have not changed then Benisons Court  was where the marker is on this map https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/389534/390440/13/100494 It looks as though it is named but without a subscription to zoom in further it is not clear.

Alan Godfrey has an 1897 map of Stockport - http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/ch1015.htm which will cover the area of High Street.

High Street was made wider around 1900 and I suspect, but not certain, that the houses may  have been renumbered at that time. If you go to the Stockport Image Archive, on the second page  is a photo taken in 1901 of Swains Boots that is no 2 the little bit of building just behind it is no 4 and it's directly opposite the Royal Oak Pub [now closed]

Comparing the maps of different dates at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/ there does not appear to have been any change in the Benisons Court  part of High Street.

You can see The Royal Oak, at the south end of High Street on the 1895 map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/389732/390326/13/101236

Yes can see it.
I think that the solid line at the beginning of High St are the railings that separate High St from Lower Hillgate and then numbers starting at 2 up to 12.
The bit after that has to be Coopers Brow steps which lead down to Lower Hillgate .
I'll have a look at the maps next time I'm at the Heritage Centre and I may even have a walk up High Street.
